I kept walking fast and angrily down random corridors without direction. I could feel tears streaming down my face against me trying to keep them in. I didn't know where I was going but I could hear a Gryffindor Prefect start angrily calling and running to me.
"You are supposed to be-"
I shot my hand to him he dragged with considerable force across the room.
It was magic, but I had no time to want to consider how I had done it.
I kept running, my sight being in complete blur from the tears. Everything was a blur and I was suddenly outside. I kept darting off for what felt forever.
When I finally stopped I was at the Boathouse.
I dropped my bag and just gave in. I started crying.
I was so angry at Sebastian and how he made me feel. How he had made me feel. I felt frustrated at myself for allowing him to push me so far to use Ancient Magic in front of everyone. And he was excited by it! I remember the wild eyes he had looked at me with.
'I wanted to see it.'
I felt incredibly simple. I didn't want to participate in his games but I kept finding myself near him, hoping the next time was not like the last.
I hoped he cared for me but he kept putting me in situations I didn't want to be in. I had never seen gentleness towards me from that man.
"Lilith!"
I heard distant calling.
Oh god no.
The door creaked open and Sebastian stood there with his own book bag, out of breath and sweaty.
"Go away Sallow," I said still looking at the water. I didn't want him to see me in tears.
"Lilith, hey, I'm sorry," he dropped his bag next to mine, coming towards me.
"No!" I threw my hand back for a force to drag the whole of him back to the location of the door.
He let out a small grunt as his back hit the door.
I hid my face in my hands and couldn't stop the tears from coming.
"Lilith look at me," he persisted with a tone I hadn't heard from him before.
The tears were drowning me and I felt panic ensue me.
I wanted everything to stop.
"Lilith, please look at me," Sebastian's voice kept echoing.
I closed my eyes and dropped my hands to my sides.
I could feel him slowly walk to me.
I suddenly felt his arms on mine as if he was steadying me.
I felt dizzy.
"Please look at me," he repeated softly, his voice cracking.
I opened my eyes to see him. He had worry lines and his eyes were intently observing me with custody.
